Wizard Coin Supply Commemorative ANA Token
With a limited edition of 500 pieces, this fabulous token is destined to become a popular collector item. The attractive piece was designed by Daniel Carr who's resume includes the New York and Rhode Island state quarter designs. Wizard Coin Supply is a sponsor and the official supply dealer for the 2008 Baltimore World's Fair of Money organized by the American Numismatic Association. The commemorative tokens will be available to World's Fair attendees at Wizard's booth (booth 1229) during the show which runs from July 30th to August 3rd. The pieces will also be available on Wizard's website while supplies last.
The tokens, which also double as a gift certificate, carry a face value of $25 (their issue price) and are redeemable forever at Wizard Coin Supply for $25 in coin supplies. The tokens are struck in brass and measure 38.75 mm in diameter (a little larger than a silver dollar). Mintage is limited to 500 pieces to assure these pieces remain rare. Wizard anticipates future issues with different designs to commemorate other key events. Don't miss your chance to get this first issue in the series at the issue price while the limited supplies last.
